Why do X when doing Y will have a much bigger effect on CO2 emission? Why waste tax $ on X when doing C is a much better long term solution? Just because you’re against X doesn’t
mean you’re for Y and Z? Is it really that hard to understand?[/quote]
Because things in life do change. Technology or popular demand can cause us to more away from coal power. It’s not useful to have inflexible ideological stances.
We don’t do everything for tech/function. We do things for vanity and bragging rights also. Those vanity projects bring people and development and economic prosperity.[/quote]LoL, dirty coal bring more prosperity than those vanity projects. Without dirty coal, China and India and even Hong Kong wouldn’t be where they are today. History have proven this point vs your hypothesis.
You can also thank dirty coal and oil for our industrial revolution. US and Europe wouldn’t be where we are today without it. Without a reliable source of energy/electricity, life would be very different. Unlike you guys, I don’t believe in going green at all cost. I think we should continue to look for cleaner and cheaper and renewable energy source. I also think we should strive for better efficiency. But all of this is because I want cheap energy for everyone around the world.
I still haven’t heard how these vanity project (BEV) would make a big dent in our CO2 emission. Care to explain how BEV would solve the problem I’ve raised?
